Following Frank Darabont's shocking decision to step away as showrunner of the second season of his hit series, The Walking Dead, executive producer Glenn Mazzara has been announced as his successor in the position!

Back in December, sources close to the production of The Walking Dead revealed that executive producer Frank Darabont had fired the show's ENTIRE writing staff, and planned to keep it that way for the 13-episode second season, by relying on freelancers.

Now, Darabont has opened up about Walking Dead writer drama. Here's what he had to say about it:

"At this moment, I'm standing on a stretch of post-apocalypse interstate in Georgia, littered with abandoned cars and blessing my good luck to be reunited with our amazing cast, and our fantastic directors and crew.

On Friday, the 16-year-old Deakin shared the following image (below), a gorgeous portrait of the family with her late mother, Johannah Deakin, surrounded by all of her children:
